The results indicate a reduction in astroglial reaction, a maintenance of microglial reactivity, and increases in synaptic covering of, and survival of, motoneurons in the VRA+EAE group as compared to VRA alone.

Astroglial genes were robustly expressed whereas markers of other cell types were absent or extremely low, confirming the astroglial identity of Bergmann glia and the absence of contaminating mRNAs from other cell types during cell harvesting.

Our analysis shows that although Bergmann glia robustly express many astroglial genes, as expected, there are also genes that appear to be Bergmann glia-specific, and may be useful as new markers and tools to manipulate this cell type.
